Longines launched its ‘Admiral’ collection which features 24h ‘Second Time Zone’ and ‘Chronograph’ models. The collection was launched by Longines Ambassadress of Elegance, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at a function in Mumbai. The 24h ‘Second Time Zone’ models are fitted with an automatic movement a 24-hour scale on the bezel and a hand for supplementary hours. The Chronographs flaunt a date window at six o’ clock and a tachymeter on the dial.
Speaking on the occasion Claude Jaunin, Regional Sales Manager (Asia Pacific) Longines said, "The Longines Admiral series evokes the prestigious dimension of sport in which aesthetics, precision and the beauty of the action predominate. Mumbai is the financial capital of this country, and therefore, a watch for business travelers had to be launched here."
Talking about the new collection, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan said, "This line introduces the subtle ambivalence of an outline that is both sober and robust, and perfectly illustrates Longines’ innate ability to match elegance and performance."
Priced at Rs110500 onwards, the different models are available with stainless steel bracelet or genuine alligator strap, fitted with triple security folding clasp.
